PLEASE DO THE FOLLOWING QUESTIONS BASED ON THIS COMPREHENSION PASSAGE --------------------------



Stretching for 4,086 miles across the country of Bolivia, Salar de Uyuni is the world’s
largest mirror—eight times the size of New York City! A salt flat, it has a reflective
surface when covered with water. Many people refer to it as “The place where
Heaven meets Earth” and they do not exaggerate, this place is truly surreal and out-ofthis-
world beautiful.
The breathtaking location is a growing international tourist destination, not only
because it is one of the natural wonders of the world, but because it was also recently
featured in an epic battle scene in Star Wars: The Last Jedi.
About 30 to 40 thousand years ago, a giant prehistoric lake called Lake Minchin went
through a series of transformations between several other vast lakes. When it dried, it
left behind two bodies of water and two major salt deserts or salt flats. Among many
other salt flats on Earth, Salar de Uyuni sits 11,995 feet above sea level, making it
easily visible from space due to its bright white color and enormous size. It is even
said that Neil Armstrong saw the salt flat from the Moon and mistakenly thought it
was a giant glacier.
During the rainy season, the salt flat is covered with a thin sheet of water due to the
floods and overflows from the neighboring lakes. It reflects light, creating an almost
impossible optical “mirror effect” illusion under the vast open sky. Although the salty
desert with plated pockets of dry salt is beautiful by itself during the dry season, the
addition of water creates an unparalleled visual event. It is especially mind-boggling
and splendid on cloudy days where it looks as though visitors are taking a stroll
among the puffy, silky clouds.The endless reflective landscape and lack of reference
points never cease to amaze visitors.
In addition to being the second most popular tourist attraction in Bolivia, Salar de
Uyuni holds between 50% and 70% of the world’s lithium reserves. The precious salt
flat is predicted to lift the country’s economy as the global demand for lithiumpowered
lives seemingly increases daily.
